Normally no, because in a company scheme the contribution is deducted from your pay before tax is calculated (i.e. you get tax relief on the contribution) and it's your taxable pay that counts for Tax Credits purposes.My employer deducts my contribution (about 7%) to the council's pension scheme before I get my "net" pay. This is not the employer's contribution - it is the employee's contribution to the pension.
Do I include this pension contribution in the income I report on my Child Tax Credit claim?2kWp Solar PV - 10*200W Kioto, SMA Sunny Boy 2000HF, SSE facing, some shading in winter, 37° pitch, installed Jun-2011, inverter replaced Sep-2017 AND Feb-2022.0 -

would anyone have any idea why my child tax credits were roughly halved this year, despite me having had a second child, and our family income not changing significantly? i am hopeless at maths etc, so can't work it out myself, and when i rang the tax credit people, the woman on the phone sounded as though she had less of a clue than me!!!0

Has your youngest child reached 1 year old?
You lose the baby element when the child reaches 1 year old.
The baby element is the same amount as the family element - approx £10 p/w each. So in the first year you would have around £20 p/w then reducing to £10 p/w after a year.0 -
Hi, me and my partner have just tried to claim tax credits. I am no longer working. They have said that we were earning too much from 2008-2009, but I probably will have earned too much in 2009-2010.
I am not working now though and won't be for a year, so will we be able to claim anything as I will not be earning this year, or will they base it on last year?
I am so confused!!! Help!!!0 -
